In the history of enterprise, Cäsar Johann Ritz is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Cäsar Johann Ritz as Swiss hotelier (1850-1918).
Cäsar Johann Ritz was born at Niederwald in 1850. His recorded nationality is Switzerland.
Industrialisation changed the scale of everything: factories, railways, joint-stock capital and the first modern corporations.
He worked as entrepreneur, hotel manager and hotel owner.
His recorded holdings include Hôtel des Roches Noires, Hôtel Ritz Paris and The Ritz London.
Business reputations are unusually sensitive to the decade in which they were made.
That the business was built from Switzerland shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.
Cäsar Johann Ritz died in 1918, aged 68. What remains is the enterprise and its consequences, which is the only durable measure of a commercial life.
